Re: [Bacula-users] Volumes getting reused before meeting retention
2009-12-16 02:18:13
I have tried the steps on test bed and found that it only applies to Pool resource. The Volume retention was same as previous.
Update choice: 1: Volume parameters 2: Pool from resource 3: Slots from autochanger
4: Long term statistics Choose catalog item to update (1-4): 2 The defined Pool resources are: 1: Default 2: Pool_8 Select Pool resource (1-2): 2
Cross verified and it showed the changes:
----------------------------------------------------------- *llist Pool PoolId: 2 Name: Pool_8 NumVols: 1 MaxVols: 18 UseOnce: 0 UseCatalog: 1
AcceptAnyVolume: 0 VolRetention: 1,036,800 <<<<it has been changed from 10days to 12 days VolUseDuration: 0 MaxVolJobs: 0 MaxVolBytes: 32,212,254,720
AutoPrune: 1 Recycle: 1 PoolType: Backup LabelFormat: Vol Enabled: 1 ScratchPoolId: 0 RecyclePoolId: 0 LabelType: 0
After that i have checked the volume status
---------------------------------------------------------------
Choose a query (1-21): 6 Enter Volume name: VT001 +------+---------------+------------------+-----------+---------+--------------+----------------+------------+-------------+
| Slot | MaxVolBytes | VolCapacityBytes | VolStatus | Recycle | VolRetention | VolUseDuration | MaxVolJobs | MaxVolFiles | +------+---------------+------------------+-----------+---------+--------------+----------------+------------+-------------+
| 0 | 1,024,000,000 | 0 | Append | 1 | 864,000 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
+------+---------------+------------------+-----------+---------+--------------+----------------+------------+-------------+
Then i rerun the update ----------------------------------- update Update choice:
1: Volume parameters 2: Pool from resource 3: Slots from autochanger 4: Long term statistics Choose catalog item to update (1-4): 1
Parameters to modify: 1: Volume Status
2: Volume Retention Period 3: Volume Use Duration 4: Maximum Volume Jobs
Select parameter to modify (1-17): 2 Defined Pools: 1: Default 2: Pool_8
Select the Pool (1-2): 2
Enter *MediaId or Volume name: VT001 Updating Volume "VT001" Current retention period is: 10 days <<<< Still its showing the old value Enter Volume Retention period: 12 days
New retention period is: 12 days
*llist Volume Pool: Default No results to list. Pool: Pool_8 MediaId: 1 VolumeName: VT001 Slot: 0 PoolId: 2 MediaType: File
FirstWritten: 2009-11-25 00:09:35 LastWritten: 2009-12-03 23:10:02 LabelDate: 2009-11-25 00:09:35 VolJobs: 14 VolFiles: 0 VolBlocks: 13,389 VolMounts: 14
VolBytes: 863,310,025 VolErrors: 0 VolWrites: 13,390 VolCapacityBytes: 0 VolStatus: Append Enabled: 1 Recycle: 1 VolRetention: 1,036,800 <<<<< Now it has changed.
So is there any other way where it can apply setting to all Volumes rather going to individuals.

If anyone else has this problem. There is a much easier solution.
Open a bacula console window
update
then select "Pool from resource"
and follow the menus.
